an electrostatic atomization nozzle and a measurement method using the same, and in
particular, to a system for measuring a charge-to-mass ratio of an electrostatic atomization
nozzle and a measurement method using the same, which are capable of measuring in

nozzle, wherein the measurement system is applicable to real-time measurement and
monitoring of the charge-to-mass ratio parameter of the electrostatic atomization
nozzle in agricultural plant protection spraying, industrial electrostatic spraying,
and other fields.
Background
[0002] The electrostatic atomization technology is a liquid atomization spraying technology
widely applied in agricultural plant protection spraying, electrostatic spraying,
electrostatic atomization spray combustion, industrial electrostatic precipitation,
and other fields. The electrostatic atomization nozzle developed based on the electrostatic
atomization technology features small spray flow, fine particle size, uniform droplets,
easy adsorption to the target, good backside adhesion effect, and so on. Especially
in the technical field of mechanical pesticide spraying for agricultural plant protection,
agricultural plant protection spraying machines using the electrostatic atomization
nozzles generally have the advantages of pesticide saving, water saving, high working
efficiency, and good pest control effects. Therefore, the electrostatic atomization
nozzles are widely used in products such as knapsack sprayers, stretcher-mounted sprayers,
mist sprayers, and orchard sprayers. The charge-to-mass ratio parameter is a key indicator
of the product performance of the electrostatic atomization nozzles, and has an important
influence on the spraying effect of the electrostatic atomization nozzles. See for
example
CN 105 676 010 A.
[0003] A conventional device for measuring the charge-to-mass ratio mainly uses a Faraday
cylinder or grid as a droplet collection component to collect charged droplets sprayed
by the nozzle, that is, collects the charged droplets sprayed by the electrostatic
atomization nozzle within a period of time (the spray time, generally ranging from
dozens of seconds to several minutes) through the Faraday cylinder or grid, measures
the total mass of the collected droplets by using a weighing instrument such as a
balance, and meanwhile, measures the value of the current produced by the charged
droplets flowing through the components such as the Faraday cylinder or grid by using
an ammeter, and calculates the charge-to-mass ratio parameter of the nozzle through
the value of the current I, the total mass of the droplets m, and the spray time t
by using the formula (1):

wherein ε, in microcoulombs/kilogram, is the charge-to-mass ratio parameter of the
electrostatic atomization nozzle; C, in microcoulombs, is the total quantity of electric
charges of the charged droplets; I, in microcoulombs/second, is the value of the current
produced by the charged droplets flowing through the droplet collection component
and measured by the ammeter; m, in kilograms, is the total mass of the droplets sprayed
by the electrostatic atomization nozzle; and t, in seconds, is the spray time of the
electrostatic atomization nozzle.
[0004] The conventional measurement device has the following major problems.
- 1. Due to insulation and other requirements of an electrostatic spraying system, the
conventional measurement device cannot directly measure the spray flow parameter of
the electrostatic atomization nozzle through an instrument such as a flowmeter. It
mainly adopts a weighing method to measure the total mass of the droplets sprayed
by the nozzle during the spray time (ranging from dozens of seconds to several minutes),
and uses the spray time to calculate the average charge-to-mass ratio parameter of
the electrostatic atomization nozzle during this period of time, which leads to the
problems such as long measurement time and slow system response in the conventional
measurement method.
- 2. The conventional measurement method and device require a Faraday cylinder or grid
to collect the charged droplets. In order to measure the total mass of the droplets,
the charged droplets collected by the Faraday cylinder or grid need to be transferred
or guided to a weighing vessel (such as a measuring cylinder). During the transfer
of the charged droplets from the Faraday cylinder or grid to the vessel, due to adsorption,
evaporation, leakage, and other factors of the liquid on the surface of the Faraday
cylinder or grid and the like, loss of the charged droplets is caused during the process
of flowing into the vessel, which increases the systematic error in the measurement
of the total mass of the droplets, thereby increasing the measurement error of the
charge-to-mass ratio parameter and also prolonging the measurement time.
- 3. The conventional method requires the spray time to calculate the value of the charge-to-mass
ratio parameter. However, the existing measurement system still needs much improvement
in the on/off control of the spraying system, the stability of the spraying parameter,
the measurement of the spray time, and so on. Moreover, some of the spraying systems
are manually operated, resulting in a certain error in the measurement of the spray
time, which further increases the measurement error of the charge-to-mass ratio parameter.
- 4. In the conventional measurement device, the liquid flows or is stored in the components
such as the electrostatic atomization nozzle, the Faraday cylinder (or grid), the
water outlet pipeline, and the weighing vessel. The liquid needs to be handled manually
during or after weighing. The components fail to form a closed liquid circulation
system, and the liquid sprayed by the electrostatic atomization nozzle cannot be recycled.
As for special test liquids or long-term tests, problems such as liquid leakage, contamination,
or serious waste may easily occur.

II. The working principle of the system for measuring the charge-to-mass ratio
1. The working mode of the system for measuring the charge-to-mass ratio
[0020] According to different working states of the electrostatic atomization nozzle and
the measurement system, the measurement system has the following two working modes:
The first working mode is used for measuring the charge-to-mass ratio parameter of
the electrostatic atomization nozzle of an electrostatic sprayer in a working state,
and in this case, the electrostatic sprayer is directly connected to the electrostatic
atomization nozzle, the electrostatic atomization nozzle is a part of the electrostatic
sprayer, and during the spray test, the electrostatic sprayer provides the electrostatic
atomization nozzle with the liquid to be sprayed. When the charge-to-mass ratio parameter
of the electrostatic atomization nozzle is measured in the first working mode, the
liquid pump, the pressure regulating valve, and the throttle valve are in a closed
state.
[0021] In the second working mode, the electrostatic atomization nozzle functions as an
independent component to be measured and is not connected to the external electrostatic
sprayer, the liquid is driven by the liquid pump to flow in closed circulation in
the components such as the electrostatic atomization nozzle, the lower cylinder, the
lower-cylinder water outlet pipe, the water storage tank, and the water supply pipe,
so that the electrostatic atomization nozzle is continuously supplied with the liquid
to be sprayed and the proceeding of the spray test is ensured, and meanwhile, the
pressure regulating valve is controlled to adjust the output pressure of the liquid
pump and the spray pressure of the electrostatic atomization nozzle, to realize measurement
of the charge-to-mass ratio parameter under different spray pressures. When the charge-to-mass
ratio parameter of the electrostatic atomization nozzle is measured in the second
working mode, the liquid pump, the pressure regulating valve, and the throttle valve
are in an open state.
2. The working principle of the system for measuring the charge-to-mass ratio
[0022] When the electrostatic atomization nozzle is in the first working mode or the second
working mode, the charged droplets sprayed downward by the electrostatic atomization
nozzle are gathered in the lower cylinder, and under the influence of its own gravity,
the liquid gathered in the lower cylinder flows to the water storage tank through
the lower-cylinder water outlet pipe, and the charges carried by the charged droplets
flow to the ground through the lower cylinder, the metal conducting wire, and the
ammeter; therefore, the current produced by the charged droplets sprayed by the electrostatic
atomization nozzle into the lower cylinder can be measured in real time by the ammeter.
During the initial spray stage, the liquid level in the lower cylinder is low, and
the liquid flow from the lower-cylinder water outlet pipe to the water storage tank
is smaller than the spray flow of the electrostatic atomization nozzle. With the ongoing
of the spray test, the liquid level in the lower cylinder gradually increases, and
according to the principle of steady free outflow of a liquid flowing through an orifice
of a vessel, the liquid flow from the lower-cylinder water outlet pipe to the water
storage tank increases accordingly. When the liquid level in the lower cylinder reaches
a certain value, the liquid flow from the lower-cylinder water outlet pipe to the
water storage tank is equal to the spray flow of the electrostatic atomization nozzle.
In this case, the flow in the lower cylinder is in a steady state, and the liquid
level in the lower cylinder and the current value of the ammeter are also in a steady
state. According to the principle of steady free outflow of a liquid flowing through
an orifice of a vessel, the spray flow Q can be calculated by using the following
formula (2):

wherein Q, in cubic meters/second, is the spray flow of the electrostatic atomization
nozzle; k
0 is a flow factor and is a dimensionless number; d
1, in meters, is the inner diameter of the lower-cylinder water outlet pipe; g, in
meters/second squared, is gravitational acceleration; h, in meters, is the liquid
level height in the lower cylinder.
[0023] Based on the definition of the charge-to-mass ratio parameter of the electrostatic
atomization nozzle, through the formula (2) of calculating the spray flow, the present
invention calculates the charge-to-mass ratio parameter by using the formula (3):

wherein ε, in microcoulombs/kilogram, is the charge-to-mass ratio parameter of the
electrostatic atomization nozzle; C, in microcoulombs, is the total quantity of electric
charges of the charged droplets; I, in amperes, is the value of the current produced
by the charged droplets flowing through the droplet collection component and measured
by the ammeter; m, in kilograms, is the total mass of the droplets sprayed by the
electrostatic atomization nozzle; Q, in cubic meters/second, is the spray flow of
the electrostatic atomization nozzle; ρ, in kilograms/cubic meter, is the density
of the liquid to be sprayed by the electrostatic atomization nozzle; k
1 is modification coefficient,

, k
0 is a flow factor and is a dimensionless number; d
1, in meters, is the inner diameter of the lower-cylinder water outlet pipe; g, in
meters/second squared, is gravitational acceleration; h, in meters, is the liquid
level height in the lower cylinder.
[0024] It can be seen from the above that, the liquid level height in the lower cylinder
can be measured by using the ultrasonic level meter, and based on the principle of
steady free outflow of a liquid flowing through an orifice of a vessel, the spray
flow can be calculated indirectly. Meanwhile, the value of the current produced by
the charged droplets sprayed by the electrostatic atomization nozzle into the lower
cylinder is measured by the ammeter. Based on this, the charge-to-mass ratio parameter
of the electrostatic atomization nozzle can be acquired through the spray flow and
the current value, thereby achieving real-time measurement and monitoring of the charge-to-mass
ratio parameter of the electrostatic atomization nozzle.

cylinder to indirectly measure the spray flow of the electrostatic atomization nozzle,
thereby realizing external real-time measurement of the spray flow of the electrostatic
atomization nozzle, so that the spray flow does not need to be measured by mounting
a flowmeter in the electrostatic sprayer or the like.
- (2) The measurement system provided by the present invention adopts the upper cylinder
and the lower cylinder as droplet collection components, and realizes real-time measurement
of the spray flow directly through the components such as the liquid level tube and
the ultrasonic level meter on the side surface of the lower cylinder. The charged
droplets do not need to be transferred or guided to other vessels for weighing during
the test. Therefore, the test process is simpler, and the measurement errors caused
by factors such as adsorption, evaporation, and leakage during the transfer or guidance
of the charged droplets are eliminated.
- (3) By using the value of the current I and the spray flow Q, the measurement system
provided by the present invention can directly acquire through calculation the charge-to-mass
ratio parameter of the electrostatic atomization nozzle. Since the sampling duration
of the measurement system (several milliseconds to dozens of milliseconds) is very
short, the measurement system has good real-time performance. Meanwhile, the method
for measuring the charge-to-mass ratio based on the calculation formula (3) eliminates
the spray time in the conventional measurement method, thereby reducing sources of
errors and simplifying the test process.
- (4) In the measurement system provided by the present invention, the electrostatic
atomization nozzle, the lower cylinder, the lower-cylinder water outlet pipe, the
water storage tank, the water supply pipe, the liquid pump, the pressure regulating
valve, and other components form a closed liquid circulation system, realizing closed
circulation of the liquid in the measurement system. When the electrostatic atomization
nozzle functions as an independent component to be measured and is not connected to
the external electrostatic sprayer, the measurement system can provide a liquid having
a certain spray pressure for continuous spray of the electrostatic atomization nozzle,
the liquid can be recycled in the measurement system, the problems such as liquid
leakage and contamination may not be easily caused, and advantages such as adjustable
spray pressure are also achieved.

to the lower-cylinder water outlet pipe 8. The upper cylinder 3 and the lower cylinder
7 are vertically connected through an upper-cylinder flange 26 and a lower-cylinder

nozzle 1.

is finally determined to be 0.5 meters.
[0035] As shown in FIG. 4, the flow regulating plate 6 of a circular steel plate structure
is horizontally arranged in the lower-cylinder main body 28. A certain number of the

plate 6 and are distributed at equal intervals. The diameter d
2 of the circular flow-through hole, the number N of the circular flow-through holes,

6 millimeters thick. A liquid level tube vent hole 36 is provided on the upper end
of the vertical long tube 35, so that the liquid level tube 11 is open to the atmosphere,
and meanwhile, the horizontal short tube 34 is communicated with the lower cylinder
7, thereby forming mutual communication between the liquid level tube 11, the lower
cylinder 7, and the atmosphere. The center of the liquid level tube vent hole 36 is
higher than the end surface of the lower-cylinder flange 27. The diameter of the liquid
level tube vent hole 36 is 50 millimeters. The ultrasonic level meter 12 is mounted

disposed on the branch pipeline 16 and is capable of being controlled to adjust the

atomization nozzle 1. An outlet of the branch pipeline 16 is located above the water
storage tank 13, and faces the opening upper end of the water storage tank 13, enabling
a part of the liquid to flow back to the water storage tank 13 through the branch
pipeline 16 and the pressure regulating valve 17. The water storage tank 13 is made
of a metal material such as carbon steel, stainless steel, and aluminum alloys. The
water supply pipe 14 and the branch pipeline 16 are made of an insulating material,
such as rubber, polyethylene, polypropylene, or polyvinyl chloride.
[0038] As shown in FIG. 1, the measurement system has two working modes.
[0039] The first working mode is used for measuring the charge-to-mass ratio parameter of
the electrostatic atomization nozzle 1 of an electrostatic sprayer in a working state.
In this case, the electrostatic atomization nozzle 1 is directly connected to the
electrostatic sprayer, and the external electrostatic sprayer provides the electrostatic
atomization nozzle 1 with the liquid to be sprayed. The electrostatic atomization
nozzle 1 is a part of the electrostatic sprayer. When the charge-to-mass ratio parameter
of the electrostatic atomization nozzle 1 is measured in the first working mode, the
liquid pump 15, the pressure regulating valve 17, and the throttle valve 18 are in
a closed state, the computer only acquires measurement data of the ammeter 9 and the
ultrasonic level meter 12, and the liquid does not flow in closed circulation in the
measurement system.
[0040] In the second working mode, the electrostatic atomization nozzle 1 functions as an
independent component to be measured, and is not connected to the external electrostatic
sprayer. Driven by the liquid pump 15, the liquid flows in closed circulation in the
components such as the electrostatic atomization nozzle 1, the lower cylinder 7, the
lower-cylinder water outlet pipe 8, the water storage tank 13, and the water supply
pipe 14, so that the electrostatic atomization nozzle 1 is continuously supplied with
the liquid to be sprayed and the proceeding of the spray test is ensured. When the
charge-to-mass ratio parameter of the electrostatic atomization nozzle 1 is measured
in the second working mode, the liquid pump 15, the pressure regulating valve 17,
and the throttle valve 18 are in an open state, and the computer acquires measurement
data of the ammeter 9, the ultrasonic level meter 12, and the flowmeter 20 at the
same time.
[0041] When the measurement system is in the first working mode, the computer acquires in
real time the measurement data of the ammeter and the ultrasonic level meter. The
specific measurement method includes the following steps.
[0042] During the spray test of the electrostatic atomization nozzle 1, the computer acquires
in real time data of the current I output by the ammeter 9 according to a sampling
period T

1 and T

[0043] During the system test, the computer acquires the data of the current I and the liquid
level height h within the sampling duration t1 to respectively generate arrays I1=[I1
1, I1
2, ..., I1
n] and h1=[h1
1, h1
2, ..., h1
n]. The computer firstly calculates coefficients of fluctuation

and

of the array h1, wherein max(h1) is the maximum value in the array h1, min(h1) is
the minimum value in the array h1,

, and h1
m is the median of the array h1.
[0044] When the coefficients of fluctuation
S1
h1 and
S2
h1 satisfy both the conditions
S1
h1≤6% and 97%≤
S2
h1≤103%, the computer processes the arrays I1 and h1, respectively acquires through
calculation the mean values

and

of the arrays 11 and h1, and outputs I1 and h1 as the real-time current value and
the real-time liquid level height of this spray test respectively. When the coefficients
of fluctuation
S1
h1 and
S2
h1 fail to satisfy both the conditions
S1
h1≤6% and 97%<
S2
h1<103%, the computer still outputs I1 and h1 as the real-time current value and the
real-time liquid level height of this spray test respectively, and meanwhile, outputs
the coefficients of fluctuation
S1
h1 and
S2
h1 synchronously for the reference of testers.
[0045] When the measurement system is in the second working mode, the computer acquires
in real time the measurement data of the ammeter, the ultrasonic level meter, and
the flowmeter. The specific measurement method includes the following steps.
[0046] During the spray test of the electrostatic atomization nozzle 1, the computer acquires
in real time data of the current I output by the ammeter 9 according to the sampling
period T
1 of the ammeter, acquires in real time data of the liquid level height h output by
the ultrasonic level meter 12 according to the sampling period T
2 of the ultrasonic level meter, and acquires in real time data of the spray flow q
output by the flowmeter 20 according to a sampling period T
3 of the flowmeter. The sampling duration of the computer is t2 ranging from 30T-50T,
wherein T is the maximum value of T
1, T
2, and T
3.
[0047] During the system test, the computer acquires the data of the current I, the liquid
level height h, and the spray flow q within the sampling duration t2 to respectively
generate arrays I2=[I2
1, I2
2, ..., I2
n], h2=[h2
1, h2
2, ..., h2
n], and q1=[q1
1, q1
2, ..., q1
n]. The computer firstly calculates coefficients of fluctuation

,
S2
h2 =

, and

of the arrays h2 and q1, wherein max(h2) is the maximum value in the array h2, min(h2)
is the minimum value in the array h2,

and h2
m is the median of the array h2, max(q1) is the maximum value in the array q1, min(q1)
is the minimum value in the array q1,

and q1
m is the median of the array q1.
[0048] When the coefficients of fluctuation
S1
h2,
S2
h2,
S1
q1, and
S2
q1 satisfy all the conditions
S1
h2≤6%, 97%≤
S2
h2≤103%,
S1
q1≤3%, and 98%≤
S2
q1≤102%, the computer processes the arrays 12 and h2, respectively acquires through
calculation the mean values

and

of the arrays 12 and h2, and outputs I2 and h2 as the real-time current value and
the real-time liquid level height of this spray test respectively. When the coefficients
of fluctuation
S1
h2,
S2
h2,
S1
q1, and
S2
q1 fail to satisfy all the conditions
S1
h2≤6%, 97%≤
S2
h2≤103%,
S1
q1≤3%, and 98%≤
S2
q1≤102%, the computer still outputs I2 and h2 as the real-time current value and the
real-time liquid level height of this spray test respectively, and meanwhile, outputs
the coefficients of fluctuation
S1
h2,
S2
h2,
S1
q1, and
S2
q1 synchronously for the reference of testers.
[0049] During the test, the computer system calculates the charge-to-mass ratio parameter
of the electrostatic atomization nozzle according to the real-time current value and
the real-time liquid level height output in the spray test. The charge-to-mass ratio
parameter is specifically calculated by using the following formula:

wherein ε, in microcoulombs/kilogram, is the charge-to-mass ratio parameter of the
electrostatic atomization nozzle;
ρ, in kilograms/cubic meter, is the density of the liquid to be sprayed by the electrostatic
atomization nozzle;
d1, in meters, is the inner diameter of the lower-cylinder water outlet pipe;
g, in meters/second squared, is gravitational acceleration;
k1 is modification coefficient, k1=1080-1120;
I1 and I2, in amperes, are real-time current values during the test of the measurement
system;
h1 and h2, in meters, are real-time liquid level heights during the test of the measurement
system.
